π Meet the Mentors Empowering Students at RiseUpp
At RiseUpp, we believe that the right guidance at the right time can shape an entire career. While online courses and degrees provide access to knowledge, mentorship adds the missing human touch β one that helps students confidently move from βWhat should I do?β to βHereβs my next step.β
Thatβs why weβve launched the RiseUpp Mentorship Initiative β bringing onboard industry experts from leading companies and top B-schools to support learners through their career journeys.
And the best part?
These sessions are completely free for all RiseUpp users.
π Why Mentorship Matters
Whether you're applying for an Online MBA, preparing for interviews, exploring new career paths, or simply confused about the next step β having a mentor can:
- Save you months of trial-and-error
- Give clarity and direction from someone whoβs βbeen there, done thatβ
- Boost your confidence before big moments like interviews or B-school applications
- Open your eyes to real-world career strategies that arenβt taught in courses
At RiseUpp, we wanted to make this level of guidance accessible to everyone β not just those with professional networks or paid coaching options.
